Report: Nylander out of the lineup for awhile longer

According to Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe, the team will be without star forward William Nylander for at least another week as he remains on the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list.

Check it out:

The 24 year old forward came into close contact with a known COVID-19 case, but it hasn't been confirmed yet whether Nylander has tested positive himself. In any case, it appears the team and the league are taking a cautious approach to Nylander's situation. Which, frankly, is the smart thing to do. We all saw what happened to the Vancouver Canucks after practicing with a known positive COVID-19 case on their roster. This virus doesn't take long to run through a dressing room and decimate an entire roster. Kudos to the Leafs and the NHL for taking all precautions here.
